On Thursday evening, the Illini offered a scholarship to JaQuan Scott. He is a 6-foot-8, 200-pound power forward from Mansfield Timberview High School in Arlington, Texas. He isn’t ranked or rated by the recruiting sites, but he is starting to pick up some serious offers.
The most recent offers, besides for Illinois, include Miami, TCU and UTEP over the last five months. This list will likely continue to grow over the next year or so as well. I really like the Illini getting in early on the recruitment for Scott too.
While Scott isn’t rated or ranked by the recruiting sites, he is in the top 100 in the state of Texas for the class of 2020.
